Ever wished you could just tap in with your credit card at an MRT or LRT fare gate in Kuala Lumpur, instead of buying a token or looking for the Touch ‘n Go card that you left in the car?
The good news is that it is coming soon.
The other good news is that you will also be able to use other cashless payment options — such as debit cards, QR codes, mobile wallets (e.g. Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay) — for buses and trains in Kuala Lumpur in the future too.
A person earning RM10k is taxed 4.2x more than someone earning RM5k.
But the people earning RM50k are only taxed about 2.4x more than someone RM10k.
Make the math make sense. 🥲
Listen.
Iran made its own COVID vaccine. They did it while America and its allies choked them with sanctions. No begging. No waiting for Pfizer or Moderna. They built it themselves. COVIran Barekat. Their blood, their brains, their hands.
They had the old Pasteur Institute. They had scientists who knew how to fight disease. The virus came hard in 2020. Hospitals filled fast. The West blocked the money, the machines, the chemicals. Iran said no thanks to foreign shots and went to work. They tested it on animals, then on people. Twenty-four thousand volunteers. By summer 2021 the vaccine was ready. Their leader took the first dose on camera. This is ours, he said.
That is the story. They stood up when the boot was on their neck.
Now look what happens. Israel and America bomb the factories. They hit Tofigh Daru, the plant that made cancer drugs and anesthetics. They hit the Pasteur Institute, the old heart of Iranian medicine. Bombs on medicine. Bombs on research. Bombs on the places that keep sick people alive.
Why? They call it security. They say the factories hide weapons. But the real reason is simpler and uglier. Big money hates self-reliance. If Iran makes its own drugs, cheap and strong, then the big Western companies lose sales. Sanctions already tried to starve their pharma industry. When that failed, the bombs came. Destroy the labs. Destroy the production lines. Keep them weak. Keep them buying. Keep the profits flowing.
This is not defense. This is greed wearing a soldier’s uniform.
Iran refused to kneel during the pandemic. They created their own answer under blockade. That truth burns the eyes of the empire. So they send missiles to blind the world again.
Open your eyes. A country that makes its own vaccine under siege shows real strength. The ones bombing medicine factories show only fear and hunger for money. The blindfold is off now. See it plain.
NEW: Small deer takes on a 1.7-ton rhino at the Wroclaw Zoo in Poland.
The deer was seen headbutting the rhino, named Maruska, before chasing it around in the enclosure.
"His partner is in heat, and the bachelor is pumping with testosterone. He needs to release his energy and show who's boss, even if his sparring partner weighs 1.7 tons," the zoo said.
"Who would have thought that such a warrior could be hidden in that tiny body?"

⚡️BREAKING: Israel is trying to sink the Global Sumud Flotilla
➤ Warships are using water cannons to try and sink humanitarian vessels carrying baby formula for Gaza’s starving children.
➤ The Maria Christina was directly targeted on livestream, while the Florida vessel was deliberately rammed at sea.
➤ Other ships, including Yulara and Meteque, have also been hit with water cannons.
➤ Some boats have already been intercepted and seized, but 38 vessels remain just 60 nautical miles off Gaza.
BREAKING: Italian Unions and protesters kept their promises to block EVERYTHING if any harm was made to the Global Sumud Flotilla.
Naples, Italy, was the first to block the train station and now protests have also started in Rome.
🚨⚡️BREAKING AND UNUSUAL
President Trump officially signs an executive order that makes any attack on Qatar a threat to the security of the United States!
The White House confirms: "The measures include diplomacy, economics, and even military."
-: Something is happening here.. The target here is Iran, not Israel.
I condemn in the strongest terms Israel’s interception of the Global Sumud Flotilla. These vessels carried unarmed civilians and life-saving humanitarian supplies for Gaza, yet they were met with intimidation and coercion.
By blocking a humanitarian mission, Israel has shown utter contempt not only for the rights of the Palestinian people but also for the conscience of the world. The flotilla embodied solidarity, compassion and the hope of relief for those under blockade.
Malaysia will use all legitimate and lawful means at our disposal to ensure that Israel is held to account, especially in matters concerning Malaysian citizens. The safety and dignity of our people are paramount, and we will not allow them to be compromised with impunity.
As long as the Palestinian people are denied their fundamental rights and aspirations, Malaysia will stand unflinchingly with them. We will not relent in demanding an end to the injustice and dispossession that have plagued Palestine for generations.

I write as former Head of Maritime Section of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office
and Alternate Head of UK Delegation to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea Prepcom.
1) The flotilla is on the High Seas and not in Israel's 12 mile territorial sea. Israel has no jurisdiction.
2) The Israeli maritime blockade has been in place for 17 years and is an intrinsic part of the long term occupation found illegal in the ICJ advisory opinion
3) It is therefore not a short term measure in time of armed conflict as specified in the San Remo manual
4) In any event the San Remo rules explicitly state that humanitarian supplies may not be blockaded
5) The UN Commission of Inquiry has already determined that Israel is committing genocide. The blockade is plainly a part of the machinery of such genocide.
For reasons 1 to 5 the Israeli attack on the flotilla is plainly illegal.
6) On the High Seas, the law applying on each ship is the law of its flag state. An attack by a state military warship on a vessel on the High Seas is an attack on the flag state of the vessel attacked.
7) Acts of illegal possession of vessels or abduction of crew on the High Seas should be pursued by each flag state as crimes within their domestic jurisdiction, not only in international law.
8) So the Metropolitan Police and DPP have an obligation to investigate and act over the abduction of persons from UK flagged vessels on the High Seas.
This applies to each flag state mutatis mutandi.
I hope you find this helpful.
The Freedom Flotilla surrounded by 20 🇮🇱 vessels, 70 nautical miles off Gaza 🇵🇸 coast.
Piracy 🇮🇱 against 50 boats from 44 countries attacked in international waters
For seeking to stop a genocide
No western media outcry. Silence from western ‘leaders’
Share their bravery.
